2010 Dönnhoff Dellchen Riesling Grosses Gewächs
Dönnhoff
A historic steeply sloping vineyard which Dönnhoff awoke from its slumber. Steep terraces in a hollow with slate and porphyry soils. The vines are about 20 years old and yield about 35hl/ha. 100% selective hand harvest. The must is fermented and the wine matured in classic wooden barrels and stainless steel vats. Vigorously spicy and at the same time dancingly elegant with great depth and a fascinating charisma.

17.5/20
Elegance and finesse are what the Dellchen is all about, as these seem to be recurring attributes in my notes for every vintage. In terms of depth and concentration the 2010 does not quite hit the high notes of previous years, as a more pronounced citrussy acidity provides quite a cutting edge for the still abundant aromas of yellow fruit. The texture remains as silky as ever, and equal measures of peel and minerality accentuate the finish.
